Jno. Newitt 3 George William should show up as a 6 year old here, unless he is living with his mother, but the only George b/Liecestershire in the 1881 census is called George Garnee Newitt. There is a 9 year old William, grandson, living with James and Hannah Marlow in Illston, Leicestershire. On the other hand, Marintha Cox shows up working as a servant in 1871: Name: Marintha Cox Age: 17 Estimated birth year: abt 1854 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Burton Overy, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Leicester St Mary Ecclesiastical parish: Holy Trinity Town: Leicester County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Registration district: Leicester Sub-registration district: West Leicester ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 24 Household Members: Name Age James Baxton 63 Sarah Baxton 58 Marintha Cox 17 In 1861, she is with her family: Name: Marintha A Cox Age: 6 Estimated birth year: abt 1855 Relation: Daughter Father's name: William Mother's name: Rebecca Gender: Female Where born: Burton Overy, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Burton Overy County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Registration district: Billesdon Sub-registration district: Billesdon ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 114 Household Members: Name Age Alma Cox 4 Jemima A Cox 1 Marintha A Cox 6 Rebecca Cox 31 Robert Cox 2 Sophia Cox 8 William Cox 35 William Cox 10 In 1881, she shows up as Marietta Cox, working as a servant in the Isaac Parsons household, Leicestershire, but with no George William in the household. On the other hand, I find this record in 1881: Name: George William Cox Age: 5 Estimated birth year: abt 1876 Relation: Son Father's name: George William Mother's name: Harriett Gender: Male Where born: Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Leicester St Margaret County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Street address: 113 Upper Conduit St Occupation: Scholar Registration district: Leicester Sub-registration district: East Leicester ED, institution, or vessel: 15 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Alice Cox 7 Ellen Cox 3 George William Cox 31 George William Cox 5 Harriett Cox 29 Henry Cox 1 Perhaps Marintha had a brother or other relative who raised the child as his own? Do you know whether Caleb and Marintha were married or if the child was born out of wedlock? How do you know that Marintha was the mother of this child? Things like this happened and luckily, the child got taken care of! Lastly, in 1891, Marintha shows up married to John Guilford with a note that she is likely Marintha Cox [see this link: http://www.ancestry.com/orem/default.aspx?action=list&dbid=6598&pid=9662070] so you can contact the researcher! Name: Marinth Guilford [Marintha Cox] Age: 34 Estimated birth year: abt 1857 Relation: Wife Spouse's name: John Gender: Female Where born: Burton Overy, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Evington Ecclesiastical parish: St Barnabas Town: Evington County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Registration district: Billesdon Sub-registration district: Billesdon ED, institution, or vessel: 14 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Ellen Guilford 7 Freddie Guilford 4/12 Freddy Guilford 7 Gracie Guilford 2 Hetter Guilford 11 John Guilford 38 Marinth Guilford 34 Mary Guilford 4 Rose Guilford 9 William Guilford 2 Joseph Jacobs 25 Good luck - I am interested to know where this goes....
